    I failed the test :(

    I got 0%. I am extraordinarily, phenomenally, outstandingly not-creative!

    (It’s not the quality of the answers, it’s the quantity, so when I said I would use the *** to ***, that only counted as one answer. Which isn’t fair. It’s at least two).

    Unfortunately the scoring takes too long if the content is analyzed, although I am looking at optimizing the algorithm :)

    I checked the database and it looks like there was an error. I’m still debugging! This is the first experiment I’ve run on the new system.

    Hold on while I do a bit of flickittyputtelling…

    I hope you don’t mind that I got rid of the mention of one of the stimuli, they’re supposed to be a secret :)

    I did a little fiddling and it turned out that the reason you got the 0% was because I hadn’t pre-calculated everyone else’s answers properly. You got much higher than that, I promise! Matter of fact, I think you can go back and check what you got now. Let me know if it works :)

    Yep, it works now =)

    (And I was all about to go and write sad vogon poetry about my lack of creativity. Oh, well.)
